Doing that would really make you think, and make the situation so much more real. Thanks for stopping by! <br />Editor and Publisher Shelly Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549811506536666763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436929195965153352.post-20831520508262406782014-04-24T18:14:41.593-07:002014-04-24T18:14:41.593-07:00My favorite is Sodom and Gomorrah, and also Ruth. ...My favorite is Sodom and Gomorrah, and also Ruth. I like the stories involved in those. There's a tradition in Judaism where you write a continuation of a story in the Torah, or the Old Testament; it's meant to help a person better understand the Word of G*d. I tried it and found it enlightening; I picked the story of Lot's wife and told the story from the point of view of a traveling craftsman on a donkey. What happened in the process was that the story became strikingly real to me: instead of being a parable, it became a story about real, flesh and blood people, like me, with their own trials and tribulations. I learned a lot. :)<br /><br />Visiting from the A-Z Challenge; happy blogging!A. Catherine Noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375569313449912140noreply@blogger.com
